63. Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and
John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by
themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his
clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth
could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with
Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to
Jesus, ‘Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three
dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’
He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a
cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came
a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!’

65. Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with
them any more, but only Jesus.
As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to
tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of
Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to
themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could
mean.
